Title: Detection of malware-usable clean file
Inventor: JARNO NIEMELA
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2016-02-02
Abstract: The present application regards a method of protecting against file-less or memory-resident malware which may execute a clean but vulnerable file (e.g. a web browser, media player or device driver) with a payload that takes over the process of the clean file. The present application therefore proposes methods of identifying vulnerable files by checking their threat of usage by malware or, stated differently, the detection of malware using a clean file. Such methods could exemplarily comprise identifying a vulnerable clean file in a computer system S110, which does not constitute malware but is vulnerable for usage by malware, checking the vulnerable clean file for its threat of usage by malware S120, and detecting the vulnerable clean file as malware-usable clean file on the basis of a result of said checking of its threat of usage by malware S130. A files threat of usage by malware may be indicated by checking reputation information of the vulnerable clean file.

Title: A pipe pig with a flexible sensor
Inventor: STEVEN BANKS
IPC: F16L55/40
Filed: 2017-05-09
Abstract: A pipe pig for travelling along the bore of a pipe, comprises a portion 220 formed of a deformable material and flexible sensors 250 at least partially disposed on or within the portion. Deformation of the deformable material causes the flexible sensor to flex. Upon flexing, the flexible sensor is configured to produce a signal indicative of a degree of deformation of the portion so that the signal provides data relating to the pipe as the pipe pig travels along the bore of the pipe. The sensor can be a variable resistor which changes resistance upon flexing, thus varying the signal. The sensor can be fixed to the portion so that there is substantially no relative movement between the sensor and the portion. The sensor is arranged to extend in a substantially radial direction. The portion can comprise a disc with the sensors arranged towards the outer edge of the disc. The disc can comprise one or more radially extending petals circumferentially spaced from one another. The pig can comprise a balanced circuit, such as a Wheatstone bridge circuit 260, which is electrically connected to the sensors, and produces the output signal based on the signal produced by the sensors.

Title: Rotary sleeve valve for asymmetric timing in two-strokes
Inventor: JOHN PATTAKOS
IPC: F02F1/42
Filed: 2017-08-01
Abstract: A reciprocating piston two-stroke internal combustion engine having a cylinder with combustion chamber and piston, a port on the cylinder operating as both an exhaust port and a transfer port, an exhaust passageway, a transfer passageway, and a rotary sleeve valve surrounding the cylinder controlling the communication of the hybrid port with the exhaust passageway and the transfer passageway. This allows a substantially asymmetrical timing of the ported two-strokes. The single port of the cylinder acts for a portion of the cycle as an exhaust port, and for another portion of the cycle as a transfer port, preventing gas from passing into the incorrect passageway at each stage. The rotary valve may also allow simultaneous communication of the hybrid port with both the exhaust and transfer passageways.

Title: A trunking system
Inventor: MICHAEL COLIN GLEESON
IPC: H02G3/22
Filed: 2017-10-25
Abstract: A trunking system 1 is installed in clean rooms 2, 3, 4 and 5 with floors 10, 11 and 12 and ceilings 13, 14. Power cables and fluid hoses are routed between the rooms by the trunking system. The system includes a bridging conduit 30 which extends through a ceiling to provide continuity to other clean rooms without risk of contamination across the rooms or between ceiling spaces and rooms or conduits. Couplers and end caps have radial surfaces (391, 392, and 393, Fig 15) which are tapered to narrow in the direction in which the conduit is pushed. Such surfaces extend in some cases from O-ring grooves so that any adhesive which migrates from the O-ring grooves does not affect the electrical inter-connection. A bridging conduit has axial seals (56, 57, Fig 4a) for pressing against a wall or ceiling, at least one of which is movable on an external screw thread of the conduit, and external threads (63, Fig 4a) at one end with O-rings (62, Fig 4a) in grooves between the threads, allowing directing push-fitting of conduit if desired.

Abstract: Method, and apparatus are disclosed for object classification adjustment based on inter-vehicle communication. An example vehicle 102 includes: a camera 118 to detect an object 126; and an object classifier (124). The object classifier determined first classification data for the object based on data received from the camera 118 or other sensors (e.g. radar 116), and includes a classification confidence of the object. The object classifier then associates second classification with the first classification data, wherein the second classification data is collected from a nearby vehicle 104,106. The object classifier then adjusts the classification confidence of the object based on the second classification data. The second classification data is received through vehicle-to-vehicle communications such as DSRC. Further classification data could be received from a roadside unit 128 or mobile device 132.
